We asked teachers, what speaker or session are you most looking forward to at your upcoming teachers’ convention?

April Aitken
Amanda Lindhout. Her book, A House in the Sky, is one of those books that changes your life. I can’t wait to hear her talk about forgiveness and resiliency.

Joanna Pederson Schipper
Amanda Lindhout!!! And Kurt Browning. Actually I could keep going … this year’s lineup is the best in 15 years!!!

Technology can’t replace a good teacher but technology in the hands of great teachers is transformational.

Maggie Thibault @maggieavelo
To teach is to learn twice. Technology is more than a tool: reach out and teach the world!

My mission is to make sure my little ones leave each day more curious than when they arrived.

On the province’s curriculum review

Jason Kenney @jkenney
@jwporteous One of the stated objectives of the NDP’s curriculum review is to make students “effective agents of change.” That’s politics.

Sean Beaton @backcountrynut
I want my students to be agents of change in their lives and the lives of others. #NotAboutPolitics #GoodTeaching

Be it adults or children, we are stronger because of our diversity, not in spite of it.
